What a man power. We met at Verizon. Each morning when we saw each other you would joke about the super diesel coffee I made. I texted you a couple times and feared this transition may have occurred. I know we met to prove life and energy far beyond this world and I am forever grateful. I think about that dream I shared with you all the time. Still don't know what it meant but I do know meeting you has inspired me to keep conquering until they put posters of me up! Rest in power friend and may Gods blessings surround your family

I served with Keith onboard the USS Dubuque and the USS Juneau, while home ported in Sasebo, Japan. He was good friend and loyal sailor, who will be sorely missed. Fair winds and following seas to our recently departed shipmate, and condolences to family and loved ones. We have the watch, old friend.

I also served with Keith on the USS Dubuque. It was an honor to serve beside him. Such a great guy, put his heart into everything he did and everyone he met. I'm thankful I got to catch up with him for one last dinner in Manhattan. He will be terribly missed and thought of often.

In my brief association with in Dublin Ohio I found him to serious at times sharing his missed missed opportunities being with his kids, encouraging his younger son prepare for scholarship in baseball they had some time together discussing sports. I enjoyed his dry humor. He attended my Church Heritage Christian Church, he would text me where he was seated and let me know where to find me, “ I’m seated in front row having the big sign “ Fear not”! Keith was ready to move to heaven his last on his FB We’ll see what heaven has to Offer! I assured him Gods promise, he accepted that, in fact he had wished that he be given extension to be with his 2 sons time just to feel their presence. Indeed Keith got those extensions: Christmas Day and New Years - the 6th! I grieved about his passing but I am blessed to be a friend no matter the short time of friendship and the influenced we’ve given to grow in favor of God and mankind. Vicky we don’t know each other but you are an extension of your brothers influence to many of us in Columbus, Ohio. Thank you! Herminia Carbon

I want to say how very sorry I am to the family of Keith. I attended church with him and considered him a friend. He always talked about how much he loved his family and especially his son. He was so very proud of them. He loved Turnpoint and his church family. He will be greatly missed.

Vicki,Pete, we are so sorry to hear of Keith’s passing. We knew it was inevitable but we kept praying for miracles. We watched a young teenager turn into a veteran actor on stage. He was so much fun to direct. We are currently out of state and can’t make it back for visitation but you are all in our prayers. It’s people like the Cinotto family that made teaching fun and enjoyable. Dick and Muriel P.

I came to know Keith several years ago. He was a co-worker to my son, Todd Livengood. Todd had invited Keith to our church and from our first meeting, I was drawn to Keith and became very close to him. He would always sit next to me when he'd come to church. He told me that I reminded him of his mother and he had been so saddened because of her passing. His mother was a good cook and Keith liked to cook, as well. We would talk about recipes and I think it brought back memories of his mom when we talked. Keith had expressed how much he loved all the people at TurnPoint Church and how much he appreciated all the help and support he received from the church family. God did some very special things for Keith during the time he attended our church. I was happy to meet both of Keith's sons and his sister when they came to visit TurnPoint. I was so sad to hear that Keith was moving to St. Louis because I knew that a part of me left when he moved but I did know that he needed to be close to his family. I will cherish all the memories that I have since meeting my friend, Keith. To Keith's family, please know that my thoughts and prayers will be with all of you at this difficult time and for the days ahead and know that memories of Keith will always hold a special place in my heart.

Military friends you create a bond with and they tend be your friends for the rest your life... even if you don't see them very often. I had a friend that I met in the navy named Keith Cinotto.... He was a really good friend when I needed that friend. I can never repay him for his friendship and kindness... Buddy I hope you're in a better place and you're feeling a lot better.. like I remember you being. My heart goes out to your family in their time of grief ... You are GONE but not FORGOTTEN SINCE you LEFT the WORLD to be with GOD.. GOD Bless
